The Upper Mississippi River Basin:Life, Worship, Sports, Transportation, Golf, Politics and other bizarre behaviors in the Upper Mississippi River Basin. The Quincy area has a history of tolerance. We seem to suffer fools gladly.
Today, in Springfield, fallen and heroic firefighters were honored. A moving and special thing.

Will these folk never learn to take a cab, or get a motel room?
The thing is, most people have done this...
You just hope that with age, comes a little more wisdom with people.
1805,
This man is a veteran of 30 years fire service and was chief of a major Illinois City F.D., plus about four as fire marshall. He's got to be closing in on 60 and has had more safety training in a year than civilians have in a life time. In the case of someone with this experience, I think it's reasonable to expect the maturity to kick in sometime before he qualifies for his second pension.
BTW, in a follow up, his employer has suspended his State Car usage.
